Combination carriers

Full asset utilization…

The combination carriers switch between dry and wet cargoes and have hence two laden legs and limited ballast

…and the most fuel efficient solution…

As ballast time is limited, less fuel is consumed per ton-mile of transported cargo, reducing the cost of freight and reducing the customers' environmental footprint

…earnings with downside protection

Earnings driven by three reasonably uncorrelated markets; dry-bulk and product tanker earnings, and fuel prices

̴ 45%

More revenue earning days compared to standard tonnage

40-60%

Lower fuel consumption per tonmile transported cargo compared to standard tonnage

  • IMO 2020 sulphur cap expected to increase fuel costs as significant part of the fleet will have to switch from Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) to low Sulphur fuel such as Marine Gas Oil (MGO)
  • Spread in cost between HFO and MGO has been approx. USD 255/t last six years
  • Shipping will need to take a larger share of CO2 emission reductions in the Paris agreement
  • Climate action policies are likely to add CO2 costs to fuel over the next decade

Trade lanes Market exposure

  • The vessels are switching continuously between wet and dry cargoes
  • The vessels are Klaveness' own concept, mainly designed to service the alumina industry. Klaveness has a unique position in the caustic soda trade
  • Sourcing of caustic soda is becoming increasingly diverse on the back of increased US Gulf plant capacity and low utilization rates at Chinese plants making it necessary to move into new less paying geographical areas
  • Klaveness introduced the combination carriers in trades to Brazil in 2014
  • Activity on cross-trades have increased as well since the Brazil trading started
  • With the increased fleet, Klaveness can cater for customers' increased demand for sourcing flexibility by offering an Atlantic – Pacific cross-trade

Quality assets and vessel management… …with strong operational track record

  • Operator of combination carriers since 1952
  • Fully integrated player with technical, administrative and commercial management currently performed by Torvald Klaveness
  • In house technical management is a critical success factor and the ship manager, Klaveness Ship Management AS, has a solid rooster of crew specially trained for combination carriers, with a retention rate of 97% in 2017

  • Klaveness provides container feeder vessels to global liner companies as well as regional feeder operators
